Kinder Spirits

HEY! THIS IS A LONG EPISODE, BUT IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES THAT I'VE RECORDED!

This is the epitome of how I show my aggressive kindness to my friends... and also how they show it to me!

Get ready to learn how to make sure that there is always ONE way to encourage someone and make them feel the compliments galore!

THATS RIGHT! We're breaking through that glass ceiling!

We're not gonna go quietly into that dark.... uhm... thought? NO SIR! We're gonna compliment the h*ck out of our friends Dangit!

Also, we've got a new way to do the ad spots in the middle!

Want to shout out your friend? WE CAN DO THAT! Send me a message!

Finally, the MOMO this week involves some amazing Little Debbie's and a Multi-Lingual pride.

Listen up... and... LET ME COMPLIMENT YOU DANGIT!

Ever lose your shoe when you're walkin through a puddle of mud? No... Not the Band...

Welp! We talk about that A LOT!

This one was a bit rough to admit, but we talk about why you gotta keep going... even when it's tough!

I know you can do it... and I know you may have heard my Lobster parable before... but gosh darnit! You're gonna hear it again with more Vigor! LET'S GO!

Shout out to the Podcast of the Week!

Natural Friends Podcast got a Major Shoutout before (@naturalfriendspodcast) in an early episode, and they've been going strong ever since!

I cannot thank Bruce, Casey, and Greg for their amazing friendship and jokes as they Navigate the world of "Supernatural"!

Join them for hijinks galore!

Also!!!

This #MOMO makes me Proud of my roots, and also gives a HUGE shout out to not only Pittsburgh, but the Philippines! 🇵🇭 !!! Congrats on the Gold Medal 🥇 in the Olympics 🇵🇭 !!!

GET YOUR EARPLUGS READY!

WE'RE GONNA BE LOUD TODAY!

If you aren't ready for some #AggressiveKindness in the form of Shouting Encouragement...

Do you think Kindness is just for Backstage? H*CK NO!

It's needed front and center for those in the Audience.

... But... Loud Doesn't Always Mean RIGHT!

How can we bring Kindness to a LOUD volume and Front and Center?!

LISTEN TO THIS LOUD GUY!

Also, check out the Femme Regard Podcast that is pitched in this episode!

They're AMAZING and STRONG women. You'll never guess the level of passion that they bring to the industry... They're definitely making waves, and I'm VERY PROUD of their work. YOU"RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND I"M GONNA BE LOUD ABOUT IT!

What can I say? This month just hits home on a LOT of sensitive topics... but who said that is a bad thing?!

In this week's episode, we touch base on how a different conversation can lead to more confidence!

We also hear about a few local artists who are AMAZING, and deserve to have shout outs WAY more than they do. This involves a few Artists and Motivational Leaders in Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, and right here in Nashville! I'll link their pages in the Notes Section.... so you can.... Take.... Notes?

Also, You'll learn how sometimes I just get NERVOUS or WICKED EXCITED when speaking on certain topics... How do I turn them all around to be seen as positive? Well, when you change your inner dialogue!

I know what you're thinking, "But Alex, Where does Linus from Charlie Brown come in to all of this?"

Listen in and find out how on this week's episode of Kinder Spirits!

In a VERY unexpected turn of events (sarcasm), I was WEIRD today!

But is that really a *BAD* thing?

H*CK NO!

Jump in to hear about Unexpected Tangents, Friendly Encouragement of Deeply-Searched Oddities, Scottish Cardinals (do birds wear Kilts?!), Nuances that Make Culture, YINZER PRIDE (because I'm a Dang Proud Yinzer), and better ways to stand up for your "Weird"-ness.

You read that right.

Be proud and weird.... That's why we are here!

Y'ever feel like you need to not be obligated to do something you don't REALLY want to?

Ever feel like a Welcome Mat? WELL NOW YOU CAN LEARN THE POWER OF "NO!"

No but seriously... Let's take a look at how we all can stop being a Welcome Mat, as well as hear about my Super Mario backpack from 1995. (It was pretty awesome...)

HUGE shout out to the #MOMO and This week's #PodAd: Movies & Mochas!

You can find out more about Drew and her amazing talents at www.moviesandmochas.com !

Listen in... Drink More Coffee... Whoops... Wrong show... (Sorry Drew!)

Ladies and Gentleman... welcome to the episode of our FIRST INTERVIEW!

*TREMENDOUS AND UPROARIOUS APPLAUSE*

Sometimes our tasks can be a bit overwhelming... I mean... It can almost make it feel like you're at your breaking point. Don't Fret! There's a way to get through it! You just need to approach it Little by Little.

How many times have you heard "One Day at a Time"? Well there's a reason why that is a lifestyle mantra! IT WORKS!

Sit back and just remember that you can do this... One day at a time.

You can share your kindness and your passion... little by little.

I cannot believe that I am able to say this... but I officially have had my FIRST interview with DREW LANGHALS of the amazing podcast "Movies & Mochas: Caffeinated Film Talks" comes on to connect about kindness in her daily life and her journey as an amazingly hospitable, knowledgable, and confident Podcast Host.

If you're wondering who inspired Kinder Spirits? Well... you're gonna have to listen to find out!

Oh Man Oh Man Oh Man!

Ever feel like you were just going through hard times for no reason? Well guess what? It was to make you BETTER!

Find out how I learned motivation through the Aggressive Kindness of my Chefs! They taught me not to be bitter but... SHHHHHH! I don't want to give it away in the summary!

Also, we have a Shoutout to a Fitness Guru this week! Brenna Raelynn is the spot for the ads showing us that we can grow stronger in ourselves when we focus on... well... ourselves.

Finally, We take a trip to Bre's farm and learn about how some coffee, some instagram, and stealing a strawberry or two can set her up for a great MOMO!

Come on in for a lesson on not being Bitter! SWEET! (That was the last pun, promise.)

Are you confused if my Aggressive Kindness is really Toxic Positivity in Disguise? Well its not... And this episode will explain why!

Wanna hear a really gross metaphor for not allowing yourself to heal? *PICK* up on what I mean while you listen!

Also, I give a HUGE shoutout to a Nashville Artist, Personality, Entertainer, and Encourager this week! Anth, I'm so thankful for you brother.

Finally The MOMO is an Anecdote from my wistfully whimsical and sleep deprived weekend! Cross-generational conversations, and connections abundant! Jump in!

"I'm not kind... I'm Passionate." said a friend who didn't realize how kind he truly is!

Don't worry... I'm gonna jump in and let him know how thankful for him I am... and explain how sometimes you just gotta LISTEN to be Kind. Also, His podcast is HILARIOUS. #ReRollExpectations #SmokeyBreakfastSausage Also a reference to a John Mulaney joke (Please don't sue me).

The MOMO this week is sentimental and I'm SUPER proud of my friend. It gives me hope and I hope it does to you as well!
